Title: Haemostatic valve assembly
Inventor: HANSEN SEBASTIAN
IPC: A61M39/06
Filed: 2010-11-03
Abstract: A haemostatic valve assembly (18) is provided with a housing (24) having first and second ends (26, 28) within each of which there is provided an aperture of opening (30, 32). A flexible valve element (34) is disposed within the housing (24) between the first and second openings (30, 32). A mass of separate pellets (40) is located within the chamber (38) formed between the housing (24) and the valve element (34). The pellets (40) apply pressure to the valve element (34) so as to close the lumen (36) thereof. The pellets (40) are preferably made of a compressible material and such that when an element is inserted through the openings (30, 32) and thus through the valve assembly (18) the pellets (40) compress to allow opening of the lumen (36). The biasing force of the pellets (40) against the valve (34) provide constant sealing pressure to the valve assembly (18) without the need for any intervention by the clinician. The valve assembly is therefore entirely automatic.

Title: Solar concentrator apparatus with large, multiple, co-axial dish reflectors
Inventor: ANGEL ROGER P
IPC: F24S23/70
Filed: 2009-05-08
Abstract: A two-axis solar tracker apparatus is disclosed having multiple dish-shaped monolithic reflectors for concentrating sunlight. The dish-shaped monolithic reflectors are co-axially aligned in an array supported by a moveable frame. The moveable frame forms the elevation stricture of a two-axis tracker that has control means for following the movement of the sun across the sky. Each dish-shaped monolithic reflector produces a region of concentrated sunlight suitable for generation of solar energy. A generator is positioned at the focus of each reflector. A preferred generator uses photovoltaic cells to generate electricity at a high output power due to the high solar power input that is directed to the generator by the dish-shaped monolithic reflector.

Title: A detector for detecting a buried conductor comprising at least two magnetic field detectors
Inventor: PEARSON RICHARD DAVID
IPC: G01V3/08
Filed: 2010-12-06
Abstract: A locator 30 for locating a concealed conductor 1 comprises a first field detector VT which detects an alternating magnetic field along a first axis parallel to a primary axis of the locator. It also comprises a second field detector VB, displaced from the first field detector VT and which detects an alternating magnetic field along a second axis parallel to the primary axis of the locator. A processor calculates a difference between a field detected by the first detector VT and a field detected by the second detector VB, and calculates an indication of the lateral displacement of the concealed conductor from the primary axis of the locator using the difference. There may be provided a reference field detector which detects an alternating magnetic field along an axis (x) orthogonal to the primary axis of the locator. The difference calculated by the processor may include a phase and the processor can determine a lateral direction of the conductor 1 by comparing the phase of the difference with the phase of the field detected by the reference field detector. The first and second axes may be coaxial with the primary axis.

Title: Synchronising Data for Transfer Between First and Second Computers in an Aircraft
Inventor: PASQUIE JEAN
IPC: G06F9/54
Filed: 2013-06-21
Abstract: Synchronising data for transfer between aircraft computers by generating a sequencing table, including minor frames for each input parameter, with each frame of equal duration; and including information about the updating of the parameter during the frames duration. The number of windows which contain a number of successive minor frames and in which all of the parameters for input are updated at least once are determined as a function of the synchronisation need and the duration of the frame. The load corresponding to updating the algorithm data is distributed amongst successive send frames of a send table with the position of the frames determined from the positions of the valid windows of the sequencing table. The first computer is then instructed to use the send table. The first part of the method may be applied to further algorithms before distributing the load, in an aircraft system.
